Antoine Rozner's moves two clear in Mauritius, Gary Hurley best of Irish

Antoine Rozner produced a big finish on day three of the Mauritius Open to head into the final round with a two-shot advantage.

The Frenchman began the day in a tie for the lead on 10 under par but bogeyed the first and second to slip backwards.

He staged an impressive recovery, though, making birdies at the fourth, fifth and seventh before dropping his third shot of the day at the 10th.

And after making back-to-back birdies at the 12th and 13th to regain a share of the lead, Rozner saved his best for last, producing a wonderful tee-shot at the short 17th for a birdie there before closing his round with another gain on the 18th, having narrowly missed his eagle try.

The 29-year-old's third-round 68 took him to 14 under and handed him a healthy advantage as he bids to claim the title he missed out on three years ago when he lost to Rasmus Hojgaard in a play-off.

Rozner's countryman Julien Brun was his nearest challenger on 12 under after he made six birdies and a single bogey in his third-round 67, with South African Oliver Bekker a shot further back in third.

Gary Hurley is the best of the Irish after a round of 71, that included three birdies on the back nine to leave him on five under.

Tom McKibbin dropped back to one over after carding a 76.
